thats how they knew about the goddamn community
3 Or are we just brainrotting so hard we ended up in here
that would be funny, but i doubt it
Or are we just brainrotting so hard we ended up in here
brainrot too close to the sun
didn’t even realize u ended up in here

didn’t even realize u ended up in here
i should turn on discord pinging me for message requests
i am still in disbelief
3general, folks
OK so basically
OK SO

and then BAM flame message

This is the one HBC video I didn't watch until the end, so I missed this 
1the message was clear.
1Wait @Trondor, french toast enjoyer @EntropicVoxels can you guys read Wingdings
1wow fake deltarune fans /j
1i'm learning, slowly
1 i'm learning, slowly
i can send you my blooket
i can send you my blooket
ok wait i think you might have given it to me before
Have people really not figured out the flame messages here yet?
2
Once you guys figure this out can you solve the eye messages in Noita next? 
i stopped looking at this server for an hour and the gates of hell hath opened before me
it's discussion for the flame messages in hbc's recent videos
i think the reasons to learn wing dings are increasing by the minute
by the time ch3-5 release it'll be the dominant alphabet of the english language
wait bread did an arg while i wasn’t looking
4 Does nobody here know about the flame messages????
wait bread did an arg while i wasn’t looking
Seems like it
Given by everyone's reactions, this is news?
1 wait bread did an arg while i wasn’t looking
LOL
assuming you weren't looking for a few weeks, yes
2 2the fact that a channel didn't exist before we showed up probably proves that point
2 Since we’ve been able to form a coherent message I think a link seems unlikely but not impossible (maybe with future updates)?
I don't think a link makes sense
What’s Noita
Don't worry about it, the eye messages are on a degree way higher than the flame messages (perhaps)
I don't think a link makes sense
I just don’t want to rule out possibilities
I hope HBC is watching this insanity devolve
1 hey can someone tell me where in the video, exactly, the gates of eternal damnation were unsealed?
end of the mad dummy video, 11:14 of the redacted video
My current guess is that this is hinting towards a chat plays undertale
The context of the first message implies this heavily
end of the mad dummy video, 11:14 of the redacted video
the message is going to decode to "fish please shut up about homestuck"
1Same reason I remember ketchup red
this is an opprotunity to correct hbc's grammar
My current guess is that this is hinting towards a chat plays undertale
nah nah clearly HBC is Toby Fox and the end of this ARG is the release of ch3-5
nah nah clearly HBC is Toby Fox and the end of this ARG is the release of ch3-5
the lore deepens
as an aside, I wonder if others in ACDS will be given passage
nah
nah
dang
This is really embarrassing.
I'm a frequent user and now mod of the server, and I have no idea what's going on.
You guys REALLY didn't know about the flame messages
the message was clear.
Oh wow
I haven't been paying much attention to Deltarune for the past few months so I've been rather inactive 
hey speaking of homestuck
ain't no way
So do you guys talk about Deltarune much here
all the time
I wonder, do y'all know about The Depths?
of course
1 of course
oh, phew!
are we spreading that already?
Brix nooooo dont use this as an excuse to spread submarine Castle Town already
even if you don't believe the whole theory, there's certainly a level "below" the Dark Worlds. The 'Depths' is just the best name for it right now
1 i am resisting the urge to post the funny diagram here
Post it post it

hey i am going to leave for the next 10-12 hours, when i come back please fill me in on the details of the sudden revelation that my my aquantiance has been arg-ing me with anime kids and wingdings without me noticing
I think the anime kid is L

no, there's probably a UTDR discussion channel

that's from that one anime right

Who’s our pop culture resource on the team
all good heist teams need one
all good heist teams need one
HELP
so we'll likely have the next piece of lore to dissect on the 9th
i'll be gone :D
Whoever figured out n and l are pop culture
and brix is the almightly lore leader
and i am the most important royal position!
You’re the chicken
I think we should try typing a summary in the morning
yup
You’re the chicken
yes

Ok so unless it’s I WANNA PLAY HOMESTUCK it’s probably HI WANNA PLAY

I WANTED TO KNOW IF
YOU KNOW...
I KNOW WHO I KNOW
AS MUCH AS I KNOW
I KNOW WHO I KNOW!
...YOU KNOW? my thoughts exactly
saying that they "heard that there's a community of people dissecting the messages"
which made the joke even funnier but also more concerningly plausible because how would they know about the thread
and because I specified "Lore nerds in ACDS" in my reply we were actually jokingly considering the plausibility that
HBC could be any new member entering the server so anyone that joined that had a relatively recent discord account was jokingly suggested to secretly be an HBC impostor
which made NO SENSE for a new user
yea there is no way a first time discord user goes to the hbc conspiracy thread first
no because this one was talking about piroutte and dropping jevils defense
see if you always deal damage even if you miss at -hp
and to think, nobody knew about the flames thing despite most of them having signed up for puzzles.... tsk tsk
I mean it's likely my tolerance has changed, I haven't joined in a long time
If you're sticking around here despite that Pancake convo you'll probably be fine
If you're sticking around here despite that Pancake convo you'll probably be fine
Trust me that pancake person came in only recently... Things haven't been the same since
If I had to guess this is probably going to be the channel for Chat Plays Undertale strageizing/discussion.
It's our own channel, technically
HBC said so when they made it 
This is our channel now
The acds sanctuary
Sorry, your discord status went to "idle" for a second so I thought it wouldn't happen. 
This has been... the weirdest week.

I just woke up but basically it's a channel for discussion of the secret messages that bread left in their last two videos. We're gonna do an actual summary of what we've found so far relatively soon probably?

Mel I got three hours of sleep I can’t remember that. I can tell you the time stamp the code in the second video is but I can’t remember the important stuff
okay got it i have it in my memory so we're probably good
wait which is the seperate time
everyone here seems so normal
umriss, azzypants
That is very very interesting (O u o) <-- my attempt at a gaster emote because this server is sane and has none
Gaster Follower 2.5
I log off for one day and ARG hell has apparently broken loose. This is what I get for often listening to videos in the background lol.
Would love to see that comprehensive lore guide when it's ready.
I'm still surprised that apparently nobody here knew about ith
I suppose it takes a real deranged lore nerd to be willing to go "Hang on, I saw something, I'm gonna go frame by frame" while watching an hbc video lmao
1 This is mostly Brix’s fault
i can't keep getting away with it

buddy
i umrissmaxxed
2 elektiontrucküng is also on ao3, it's really good
it's only like 17k words, far easier than the 24 hour long streams
sooo anyway let me get this straight (well, it's june so maybe not straight...)
1. bread put secret codes in their videos
2. we didn't notice, somehow
3. you guys over at acds noticed and started theorizing
4. bread attempted to infiltrate acds at the exact moment you realized bread was going to try to infiltrate acds
5. bread invites you guys over to the discord server to discuss THE FLAMES
yes
i'm not gonna lie i was not expecting the past couple days on this server to be filled with chaotic breakfast foods and exchange students from the nikola tesla fan club, but it's kinda exciting to see all this... stuff happen
1 okay.
so.
what in the blue orange blazes is going on

Yes basically
we're more like an underground society of weirdos within the already weird nikola tesla fanclub
most of the server has no idea about any of this
and I'm glad to have yall here
3by the way, does have context in this server

here's screenshots of our discovery
we then panicked for several minutes
heres more screenshots that are out of order
it seems that we've all taken as this server's
as this server's I feel like it can also take on a slightly nervous or suspicious tone
Obviously you guys ended up being right, but I just enjoy the mental image of you guys in a dark room with a swinging overhead light bulb, interrogating any new members who might be bread.
lmao

im not sure its intentional that Fire is lower than dust on the chart
I don't think fire being under dust is intentional but if you're wondering why you were given dust, they're just doing some bot tests and seems like everyone needs a specific role for it to work
wait we are dust now?
yeah, but we still have the fire role

Hellfire route or something with Toriel’s religious stuff
That would be epic, but part of me is a little nervous I'm going to accidentally create a Tad Strange situation.
This channel if when Ch3 drops there's a FlameGrave route.....
Well that's a stupid name
Well that's a stupid name
Rule 3.
tone indicator /j
That's 8 not 3.
As for 'flamegrave' route, I doubt that future weird routes are gonna be super formuleic. Even the name aside, I don't think chapter 3's weird route- if it has one- is going to involve toriel burning people
2
Which to me seems pretty heavy implication that the weird route wasn't ever really...about killing a character. It's about what killing a character lead to.
still, it's an interesting enough dynamic that way. "You can break free but only at great cost. Is getting your own special ending really worth it if it's worse than the normal one?"

Agreed
what are we talking about
Was gonna say, not sure this is on topic for this channel, although I will confess, "what is the topic of this channel" is one of the more nebulous things to answer.
"If you make noelle iceshock EVERY enemy and if you inspect the poster and the door then you can get a creepy ring and you can use a forbidden spell on the annoying bird character, and he DIES!"
and the poster and door aren't even necessary
and the original poster refused to spoil the spamton neo fight, which would have made it much easier to confirm as genuine*
*everyone was too lazy to just follow the instructions
Was gonna say, not sure this is on topic for this channel, although I will confess, "what is the topic of this channel" is one of the more nebulous things to answer.
At this point, i think we've just adopted it as generic discussion of the situation and offhand deltarune discussion, lol
Was gonna say, not sure this is on topic for this channel, although I will confess, "what is the topic of this channel" is one of the more nebulous things to answer.
at this point this channel is more of a social distinction than a topic distinction
Then I immigrated a bunch of Fire Tiers. 1 And I feel like that's super intentional. It was to the point where I didn't even think the weird route was REAL for a second when I first heard about it. I wouldn't be surprised if future weird routes keep playing on that kind of thing
As an example, though, I currently predict that one of the weird routes will be like, a parody/inspired by/analogy for sequence breaks in speedrunning.
Dark Worlds are seemingly analagous to fiction, and in theory finding a way to skip ahead and derailing the story that way could be very interesting, especially if there's some literal analogy to...'time travel' by setting story flags in weird ways
ralsei dancing sprite?
ralsei dancing sprite?
true
now i think they are going to fully recreate the sweepstakes arg for this
A little unrelated, do you think it's possible we could get Chapter 3+4+5 this year on anniversary? I sort of doubt it because that is a little too close but at the same time the anniversary after this one feels a little too far away and it may be done before then, but I guess it is three chapters
ACDS talks about release dates all the time
but the way development is going... well, we don't know how development is going exactly.
Chapter 3 is probably in playtesting phase right now and from the sounds of things chapter 4 isn't too far off from where chapter 3 is
In that case I wonder if they would wait until the 2024 anniversary if they're done early because it seems it may be tradition to release on anniversary (they did release chapter 2 on anniversary, right?)
close to it, yeah
In that case I wonder if they would wait until the 2024 anniversary if they're done early because it seems it may be tradition to release on anniversary (they did release chapter 2 on anniversary, right?)
they announced it on UT anniversary and released two days later

Ah
https://deltarune.com/update-092022/ the 2022 update
"having enough of the dialogue written to start translation" is not especially "close to completion"
But also, that was back in like February
H
4 shouldn't be too far behind where 3 is
I don't think any of this confirms that but ok

see this
so does translation and any other changes made side-by-side with translation
i have a very good reason to believe this
i am so ready for the newsletter to come out so we know how close our estimations are
this
i am so ready for the newsletter to come out so we know how close our estimations are
fair enough
Wait, is the automoderator counting how many messages you send in a nonminimal timespan?
Yes.
on message: if message is same user as last message: count up
else: count to 0
if count more than big number: warn user
if count more than bigger user: timeout
can you do arbitrary code on message? Kocka has a couple bots that work that way but obviously we're using the regulars instead
can you do arbitrary code on message? Kocka has a couple bots that work that way but obviously we're using the regulars instead
I don't know how to code at all. It took me the entire day to get a bot to do what it's doing right now.
I can't wait to trigger the bot by accident by just being super active, unless the bot's timespan is like, a few seconds
You won't, it's only programmed to trigger if someone spams regularly.
Males sense
1I would program a bot if there was a discord API library for my preferred language (I mean I never checked but I doubt it exists)
(I mean I never checked but I doubt it exists)As you can see here, they were over 50% done with the Implementation phase of Chapter 2 and still had done no bugfixing, translation, or porting. All 3 of those are mentioned as things that are being done in the march newsletter
The temptation to keep making more and more long-timeouts is pretty great, ngl.
you also unmuted pancakes, right?
As you can see here, they were over 50% done with the Implementation phase of Chapter 2 and still had done no bugfixing, translation, or porting. All 3 of those are mentioned as things that are being done in the march newsletter
I feel like you're severely underestimating how long phase 3 would take even assuming everything else has been completed
you also unmuted pancakes, right?
They should unmute after 5 minutes now.
I feel like you're severely underestimating how long phase 3 would take even assuming everything else has been completed
But while Phase 3 is happening, all of the team who can't do anything on Phase 3 can work on Phase 2 of the next chapter
But while Phase 3 is happening, all of the team who can't do anything on Phase 3 can work on Phase 2 of the next chapter
Right, and what happens when they get to chapter 5? lol
Translation alone would take several several months given that there's only uh, one translator
do these people count
remember how toby talked about how they might do "something crazy" to speed things up "like working on multiple chapters at once"
i don't think he ever called it something crazy
do these people count
Localization support would mostly do things like propose alternatives to dialogue and do "lesser" job
The translator's been working since the end of last February - if it takes them let's say 3 months to translate a chapter, it's possible that Chapter 4 and then Chapter 5 would be in a ready enough state to begin translation immediately after the previous chapter
Yeah Brix was wrong he didn't call it crazy.
mrw synonyms

there's no actual way that a chapter is only gonna take 3 months unless they're doing slave labor
there's no actual way that a chapter is only gonna take 3 months unless they're doing slave labor
Well of course not
there's no actual way that a chapter is only gonna take 3 months unless they're doing slave labor
okay, let's work this backwards
But "in a partially-finished state 3 months after the previous chapter was in a partially-finished state"
with the knowledge that they have been working in parallel
does the chapter need to be completely finished to start translation? presumably it can start once the scripts complete, no?
Hypothetically yes, though that's not how Chapter 2 was done
does the chapter need to be completely finished to start translation? presumably it can start once the scripts complete, no?
it does not need to be completely finished. Far from it.
given that Toby's script was already pretty much done for all the rest of the game in 2020
that category says "main design", not necessarily specifics
probably the overall flow but they might change text as they get to developing the scene or fight it's in
that wasn't the topic of discussion 
1 I don't think one chapter is gonna have no dark world due to the length of them. Chapter 4 looks like it's gonna bring us to Dess and 5 will bring us to the Roaring's beginning
i also don’t think this
I used to be a late 2023 believer but I also thought Chapter 3 would've been done last newsletter for that.
1At this point I'll just assume september or october 2024
1 if the June newsletter is "Chapter 3 is done, now we're working on finishing Chapter 4", we're on track
Even then it's unlikely they can finish chapter 5 in 3-4 months and it would likely release in the first half of 2024, or 2024 anniversary
Many paths to one destination. I doubt chapter 5 will be the same on all three to six paths that develop. Hope for more save points. I can only hope for seven slots
once again not the topic
Even then it's unlikely they can finish chapter 5 in 3-4 months and it would likely release in the first half of 2024, or 2024 anniversary
Yeah that's fair enough
The team should take as long as they need to make it great but I also do really want to play it
see this is why i've been scheming to [data expunged]

❔
is there any way to detect messages from other people? or, no, it's just like individual slowmode
I do not know of a way to detect messages from other users.
That's what I said 
everyone without Dust?
That yes, that way it hits users who joined the server while there were no mods around to give them Dust tier, and can be taken from users who are causing problems frequently.
Doesn't Discord have some sort of automod built in now?
Not on this server it doesn't. I'm told it needs to be a Community Server.
Wasn't it messages in a row though?
That is the rule
just put slowmode on every channel
People haaaate slowmode.
Right... I really do want to make a custom bot at this point but once again, I can't keep it always online

Nadeko.
i'd still argue for more messages for the warn but it's less unreasonable now
Yeh! Let me see how it plays out a bit, and if I need to reduce the restriction even more I can.
So if its' excessive and I'm not around to adjust it, you can migrate the conversation to there.
1 What's your precedent for that?
knowledge that I cannot disclose beyond "trust me"
the book says localization process began in 2016... does not say when
Late January, Early February
November 2016 was when toby announced an official translation was "in the works"
based on the ch3 translation announcement, I imagine that was probably pretty close to when actual work on text began
Late January, Early February
source???????
I see
Toby delaying Deltarune Chapters 3-5 for a full year just so it releases simultaneously in Japanese and English.
assuming 40 hours of localization work a week
a 3 month estimate would mean 12 weeks, or 480 hours; about 8000ish lines of translatable dialogue in a chapter means 16.6 lines of dialogue per hour, or 1 per 4 minutes -- which feels reasonable?? idk man
(note: 8000 lines is a high estimate of how many lines are in Deltarune Chapter 1 that counts every single paragraph, when pasted into a word counting program, as a line. this includes individual choice selections and like every 2 words gaster says)
can the translator just be translating 8 hours a day anyway
The realistic approach is more something along the lines of "lemme just meet my quota for the day" lol
The realistic approach is more something along the lines of "lemme just meet my quota for the day" lol
and then spend an equal amount of time reviewing anything in those lines with Toby, assuming Toby isn't too busy with the rest of the team
and a whole lot of "..."
according to my calculations there are 144 lines that are just "* ..." with nothing after it
hundreds of lines of
It can happen mostly in parallel to development
well sure but
when Undertale took 12 to 18 months to localize
That means we're in for a long game
i’m pretty sure hbc would know of the existence of andrew cunningham because they’ve interacted several times and did a podcast together
1 but uhh some people in the server don't think that makes sense and want to reveal it all and its a whole thing
they think that because it was figured out in the server, the entire server should know
Looks like theyre offline right now, but you could probably @ them when theyre online
k got it!
HBC, if you do see this, are we allowed to talk about the whole shenanigan publically in ACDS yet? We've been trying to keep it under wraps for the most part so far
Oh yes, you're free to discuss whatever you like wherever you like. Fire tier isn't Holy/Electric tier or anything.
at some point Roy gave you a role called "Super Timeout Zone" for the funny because they were joking that if you signed the Oath it'd happen but I assumed it was just like a joke
Ohhh haha. I'm double checking the few chats I eyeballed before I hop out of server to make sure there aren't any lingering things I need to know/address before I do.
but we've been trying to keep the whole situation secret and out of the knowledge of the general public of ACDS
I'm relieved that you're type of person to double check first though, because you appear to be highly observant, and I don't want to get doxxed ever.
2 Would you believe people thought it was weird that we were trying to double check first? Wack
I'll confess, I did hesitate to invite people to the discord for a whole 30 seconds because bypassing the paywall is the sort of thing that might make certain fans angry.
Then I decided that ARGs often have special exclusive rewards, like the Joker phone, or the Bill Cipher puzzle. So if people did get angry about the news there is a sort of precedent I can fall back on.
I mean aside from, "it's my server and I am the dark and terrible ruler of this world" since... I prefer not to play that card and to take everyone's feeling seriously, haha.

hey I have a question does this specific song hurt anyone's ears or am I good to upload it
It's not physically painful but it's having a weird effect on my sense of perception that is hard to describe in words.

Good, its a transformation theme. This is the scene where Ralsei comforts Kris and joins Kris's party for real as Greatest Paladin, taking a form similar to that of their mom dad and brother. The psychic damage of the themes melancholy "I have to change. This isn't what I was told was going to happen" needs to be sour and eye widening. Pucker the SOUL

Then I decided that ARGs often have special exclusive rewards, like the Joker phone, or the Bill Cipher puzzle. So if people did get angry about the news there is a sort of precedent I can fall back on.
I mean aside from, "it's my server and I am the dark and terrible ruler of this world" since... I prefer not to play that card and to take everyone's feeling seriously, haha.
I am curious though, do you plan to announce that this happened officially at some point? Since I assume this arg will be publicized after it's completed

Yeah, this would be funny

Announce 10 people joining the discord?
I dunno. I'm not sure if I'll ever do a retrospective of this. I've taken screenshots just in case though.
It's not physically painful but it's having a weird effect on my sense of perception that is hard to describe in words.
It's good that it's eliciting a slight fear response. This is what plays when Kris storms into the Dark Closet after You manage to kill all three of their friends and they run to Ralsei to cry. Deafening fear being soothed by a big giant teddy bear. You're still gonna hear the fear. I'll have to incorporate the motif difference I made in an hour. Any request for Ralsei spells? I've got some to make.
hey I have a question does this specific song hurt anyone's ears or am I good to upload it
for me i am definitely feeling pain

I think it'd be funny as like, a footnote in part of a larger video
We might need more people in on it if things start getting more complicated
i kind of hope it will get harder
could do a post on reddit
I guess? but I think that like
What is an arg without mass player participation?
The depraved ramblings of 10 lunatics
as it should be
There's also a nonzero chance that the next sequence is more obvious
In my opinion it may be more obvious but more difficult to solve
if it is Chat Plays Undertale: For Real, whats Fire got to do with it?
it will be blowing up bread's computer
I dunno if we make a reddit post just yet
let me draft one for fun i will ask for approval before posting
You post this one and ask why there's a character in the fire
Anyone else notice that N from Pokemon is in the fires of the mad dummy video for like a few frames? Why is he there? Is it some kind of joke? and then have the title be this
this look good?
this look good?
also! !!! IF ANYONE FROM THE SERVER SEES THIS POST, FEIGN IGNORANCE !!! We are trying to see how long it takes people to find parts of the ARG, and if they come to the same conclusion as we did!
I interrupt your scrolling to ask what kind of spell you'd like Ralsei to have to cover for Noelle and Susie and Berdly being absent from the party
fluffyguard

honestly, for better traction, would it be better to wait til tomorrow to post?
that's a good idea, what time would you recommend?
i can post it tomorrow afternoon if its a hassle
how active are you on bread's subreddit
weve got like a week til this develops further. might even be worth posting again being confused about whatever is in the new video.
This can work

o no
It also just so happens to be the one HBC used during Mystic’s can’t plays
just checking in for today, no new developments yet
maybe if there's no new interaction by tuesday we could think about crossposting to r/deltarune
1 I don't think so
Seavoice is a TTS bot and it just joined the server
Ah, that's why discord didn't prompt me to wave hi.
what do you two think?
dang
Why lead into the whole "Yeah, but it's moot point, because the chat plays stream is allready done...but what if it was-"
Didn't they go back and redo the Mad Dummy fight? I remember that from the MysticSlime vid
Didn't they go back and redo the Mad Dummy fight? I remember that from the MysticSlime vid
yes
guess i can't share my opinion
no no you can it was just me making a googer reference
This is either setup for the HBC chat plays stream that may in theory happen but it's still undetermined
im only mildly suspicious right now cause bread hasnt said anything about it yet
and we got a fun arg out of it so we win anyway
Also, for the record, if HBC lurks here or backreads (I'm convinced they do, the server isn't too active to where that's infeasible and they seemingly backread the entire hbc conspiracy thread), the person who made the mod that mystic used replied to my first comment suggesting that they'd be willing to send the mod used for mystic's stream to hbc
the message is
Hi, wanna play. s sorry, just to clear up a bit of the puzzle, do we have some spare letters we havent used yet? i remember something aboout a uu?

also if it is a "chat plays" maybe you could stretch that to be a "HBC community plays"
i dunno
HBC in the mystic stream was of the (objectively correct ) opinion that the reason TPP was good was because it was chaos that didn't have interference

it all adds up if you ignore the other stuff
what do you need to ignore for it?
You see Bread is referring to pizza because pizza contains pi and math is everyone's strong suit. Therefore we are actually all being indoctrinated into bread's new school of math learning. Don't ask me what zza is

someone on acds had a cool idea where you basically steal the dreemurr phone and bring it to castle town, and then you cna call castle town and have radom darkners pick up
i also just realized queen and papyrus are somewhat similsr
that sounds so cool omg

I assume it has something to do with pension leading the charge on the sans fight

That's pretty much it for the theory, but it predicts that the disruption will increase, blocking out television and eventually cutting off hometown completely right in time for when the whole town discovers the world is ending or whatever.
Gotcha

The power of slow mode shall halt us
1 What I'm supposed to be doing: Working on next video
What I can't help but do instead: "What is this Glitch?!?!"
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1844228098?filter=highlights&sort=time
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1844228099?filter=highlights&sort=time
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1844220510?filter=highlights&sort=time
Ah! I figured out the glitch! There are 2 things happening here and neither of them are my fault.
#1 UT can only take about 3ish inputs at a time.
#2 When sans slams you into the wall on the <- side, there's a brief moment where the player can jump with a right press, and doing so will cause you to become slightly misaligned from the wall of bones so that you slip between the cracks like so:
Now! If it's "a brief moment" then how the heck is a chat with like 3 seconds of delay managing to do it by typing commands into the console?
Well... remember how I said it can only take a few commands at once?
What's happening here in a lot of the instances here look like this:
Lots of inputs at once. In a case like this what happens is, your SOUL doesn't move at all, because you're holding RIGHT and LEFT at the same time.
HOWEVER much like the MURDER DANCE (where you hold up and down on a wall) being pressed against a wall while your SOUL is blue has an extra sorta push effect that wants to trigger if it senses you hitting the correct direction to JUMP. So secretly Penguin's strategy of saying "up right, left down" before "the stabbing bone gravity attacks" is genius, because it means you will basically always jump when you hit the wall.
For the record i think it was either me or cookie who suggested we do this because we knew about the cheese
For the record i think it was either me or cookie who suggested we do this because we knew about the cheese
Wait you already knew the mechanics of the cheese strat?In this case it's not simply a matter of "hold right" because just holding right wont' get the misalignment. It seems like murder-dance (left and right together) is an integral part of this misalignment glitch though because uh....???
I'm not 100% sure why the strategies I just outlined produce the most reliable results (for me) but they definitely do.
I'm not 100% sure why the strategies I just outlined produce the most reliable results (for me) but they definitely do. Ah! I figured out the glitch! There are 2 things happening here and neither of them are my fault.
#1 UT can only take about 3ish inputs at a time.
#2 When sans slams you into the wall on the <- side, there's a brief moment where the player can jump with a right press, and doing so will cause you to become slightly misaligned from the wall of bones so that you slip between the cracks like so:
Is the SOUL basically moving one bone per frame??
Is the SOUL basically moving one bone per frame??
Basically yes
Okee using Debug Mode to set it to 999, setting up misalignment, and then never hitting another button again...
The final hit stops hitting us at 715-730. I... think karma doesn't kill you here but ????
999-715=284.
Max HP you can have with this setup is... I think 182? (91+91)
Therefor with perfect HP you need to dodge 102 points worth of damage. Which sounds like a LOT but, one of those bone stabs is about 25 damage, and he does like 4 at the start of his Special Attack, and this strategy allows you to dodge all 4 of those, so that's about 100 points of damage spared alone.
(second picture here is one of those bone stabs from his final attack isolated)
We had assumed that it all just lead to the chat plays but that doesn't seem very true anymore

Anything in Wingdings ; Fire Message, fires has "FLAMES CAN WHISPER" in it
"HI WANNA PLAY WITH FIRE" (In Wingdings) ; Fire message, says iether "NEW VOICE" (on first run?) or "HIYA", unclear what the condition for NEW VOICE is 1seems fine?
i think i just concerned my mom lol
you ok?
Congrats! Your rise to power shall be swift
yes
look at this
this thingie
by the way, Apparently this somehow is in the mod feed, I don't know how I did that but from what I can tell from the power of google you can fix it by going to creator dashboard or something? I'm not gonna try navigating to that on account of [[fear]]
also applies to the summoning circle in the beginning
It took me SO LONG to recreate that Gate from Chrono Trigger you have no idea
and here i am struggling to make still frame crap in piskel for my video
What I did was used zsnes to open the game, remove the layers minus the gate and clouds, record footage, put said footage in shotcut and carefully use keyframes to align the raw moving sprite of the clouds w the footage, export said raw png as a mp3. Covert that to a animated gif, then do MATH to figure put how many frames it is, and then multiple that by number of gate sprites and the I painstakingly masked each gate sprite, aligned it with its corresponding cloud, and merged the layera by hand.
And this was for... 20 seconds of footage at best?
And this was for... 20 seconds of footage at best?
There comes a point in every video makers life when you have to realize you are putting WAY too much effort into something that does not matter at all.
i love spending time on details nobody will notice

well, they’re not wrong, his arc did remain unresolved. it may have never existed in the first place but they sure didn’t resolve it!

Once we do it
I told my friends “I mean the reason I didn’t sleep was because I was trying to commit murder, but…” and then they tried to accuse me of attempting to murder an irl friend. This is the only reasonable response
I feel like it fits better for them to be Ralsei, since they know what the final message of the arg will be. They know the prophecy, basically.
I mean what does Ralsei really know?

Shoutout to Retro for helping decipher how exactly the less-detailed fire messages work
retro coming in and bringing the equivalent of vowels in hebrew
OH OKAY NOW I GET IT
So it's basically like every flame is a letter, and then the particles make it easier to understand how it's pronounced
it seems like it kinda
cant get bet and vet markers to work on my computer tho

which video are you on?
the community posts
but its actually not consistent with the ones in the redacted video
i'm already insane! and people seem to listen to me so 
and other assorted secrets like mel's conspiracy that they got possessed by bill cipher or something idk
whatAsk her
also I didn’t forget :pants:
1 yeah idk what i was on last night
mel what is the bill cipher possession theory
Bread mentioned there was arg lore in the bill cipher video and if you look at the first minute of the video they're performing a ritual to summon bill and their eye flashes with a blue version of the arg fire graphic
1 it's actually beddy bed time for me... so. i shall do it in the morning! if anyone wants to help me i would appreciate it a ton because all the flames are small and my eyes are bad
good night!

For realsies though, at the time, I read that as like "Lol HBC you forgot to move the SOUL"

1 you checked the stream for 1 (one) second and decided this was funny/important enough to change
The truly impressive thing, is that I thought it was important enough to screenshot and save to a paint document despite my PC already having a lot on it's plate.

Yeah the A in HIYA and the A in FLAMES don't match at all.

No, I just get a lot of weird usernames in my chats

Me too

hbc you mistyped "WHISPER" in wingdings at 3:49 @Half🍞Chaos
Shame that I’ll be at work when the stream starts, try not to beat the game before I get home 
i saw 
seems a little counter-intuitive but what can you do ♂️
♂️ its because inputs are global so it uses "left" in any context
so that includes ban [input]
diodnt hbc literally correct this
I was team true pacifist but then Chat killed everyone in the ruins so now I'm onboard with mass slaughter

We are offically past the rock puzzle
and with that, we can start
But it doesn't care how you treat it. It'll always be the same response to your actions. And I'm a total sap who still feels sad seeing it.
